Zac Zedrick returns for his fourth season at Miami. With a large number of returners and a strong incoming class, Zedrick believes the mixture of experience and new talent will allow the RedHawks to be one of the top programs in the MAC and compete against some of the strongest teams in the country.

"I feel strongly that this can be a special season for our program,” said Zedrick. “We have an incredible mix of upperclassmen who have gained a ton of competitive experience along with some younger players who have the opportunity to help right away. It will be highly competitive at home and I think that's going to translate to some significant changes at the level we'll be performing at on the road."

Zedrick came to Miami after spending three seasons as an assistant coach at Wichita State. While at Wichita, he helped lead the Shockers to the Missouri Valley Conference Championship each year. They also participated in the NCAA Regional each season and three golfers earned All-America status. Zedrick aided in all aspects of recruiting for Wichita, while serving as the tournament director for their home tournament, the Diet Pepsi Shocker Classic.

"Zac brings a wealth of energy, experience and integrity to our program, and he has worked with some of the best mentors in the sport of golf," said Athletic Director Brad Bates. "His inherent attributes will have already had an impact on our program and will ensure it continues its trajectory of being one of the premier men's golf programs in the nation.”

Prior to his time in Wichita, Zedrick spent two seasons as a Graduate Assistant Coach at Toledo. While there he helped with all aspects of recruiting as well as providing on-course instruction during competitions.

Zedrick was a four-year letterwinner for Michigan State University. He served as team captain in each of his final two years. He was a member of the Academic All-Big Ten team in each of his final three seasons with the Spartans.

Zedrick earned his bachelor's degree in communications from Michigan State. He graduated with High Honors. He earned his master's degree from Toledo in 2008 in recreation management with an emphasis in athletic administration. He lives in Oxford with his wife Amanda and new daughter Mille, who was born this past May.
